I'm sick of hearing, "she had money, she should have gotten help" [View all]

Trying to find the right words without coming across hostile.

I am in no way poor, I have had it hearing "they have money, it shouldn't be a problem finding help."

If the help isn't there you aren't going to get it period! I speak from first hand experience. My son has autism, schizophrenia, an a few other social disorders. The hell I and my wife have gone through in the past 14 years trying to get my son help is criminal.

My daughter was sexually assaulted. She hid this fact from us. Three times, she attempted suicide. Twice almost succeeding, it wasn't until the third time while in a hospotal throwing herself from the 3rd floor balcony was she able to get acceptance to an intensive care treatment center in savanah Georgia.

Don't tell me there is acceptable mental health care in this country.

Guns...shit. They should never been in that house.
